If I replace with any socket A Athlon, say, a 2600, instead, same FSB
and such, will I have to reinstall Debian, or will the same Kernel and
install work okay with my current installation?

No. Windows may do such shenanigans, but Linux doesn't.

I'm running Etch with the latest Etch and with whatever k7 kernels it
gives me during normal updates.

Thank you for any help.

Actually yes it will,

Similar CPU's will work, especially with the massively generic debian
kernels.

I've moved a debian install between a pentium 3 and a amd athlon. just
whack the new core in.
